Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Gamagami saved my Fathers life!!!
Recently, the day after Thanksgiving, my dear Father, Fred Van Aalst went to heaven at the age of 97. It got me to thinking of the doctors that have helped my Dad and there were three major ones all at the time practiced with Sharp Rees Steely. The first is Doctor Spees who first diagnosed an abdominal aortic aneurysm with palpation and ultrasound. The second Doctor was Dr. Gamagami who performed the 8 hour surgery. My father was 82, and even though he ended up with leg pain and weakness, he was able to walk, grocery shop, and drive. He recovered and ended up living 15 more years!!!!! I wanted to thank you soooooo much Doctor and was hoping to actually talk to you personally to let you know how grateful he and my mother and all of us kids were at the wonderful skills you possess and how caring you were after the surgery. I remember well you showing me what to look for in pressing places on my Dads leg to make sure he was getting adequate circulation. Monique Van Aalst

Dr. Gamagami visited my Mom daily while she was in the hospital.. he joked with her and the family and was honest about her condition and what could be done.. he also called me to tell me that he saw a pack of cigarettes in my daughters purse, I loved that! We did end losing my mom but she had the best care at Sharp and Dr. Gamagami was wonderful..

I have witnessed his self-serving arrogance [which looks like a savior complex] and a grotesque lack of humility that has on more than one occasion prevented him from referring to specialists more qualified.
